Truss has none of Johnson's, alleged, charisma and I don't think your average voter likes her. She would have to be a pretty good Prime Minister to get people on her side I reckon and, at the moment, she's a laughing stock because of schoolgirl errors she's made which, increasingly I'm hearing have a lot to do with arrogance on her and Kwateng's part. Although the polls are certain to close and she could yet win in 2024, I don't see this week being forgotten by a significant number of people who voted Tory in 2019, it does all feel like the same sort of impact as Black Wednesday in 1992.
The GE is two years from now. A lot will happen in politics in that time and by and large, this past week will be forgotten.
